they tried to do with FDR back in the 30's and 40's. Current DSA candidates are appealing to voters in Michigan and Maine over deeply held opinions on Affordability and the Abortion issue...especially in Maine, where Susan Collins failed them with her votes on the 'Big Beautiful Bill' and her confirmation of Kavanaugh, resulting in the overturning of Roe. Btw, recent polls show Dem chances in Maine sharply increasing now that Platner pulled out.
It'll be telling how those DSA candidates fare in November...and if elected...how they perform...for residents of their state, and the nation. Hard not to be an improvement over what Trump has done...and failed to do.
